Abstract
Computing node identifiers can be used to encode information regarding the distance between requesting and available computing nodes. Computing node identifiers can be computed based on proximity values for respective computing nodes. Requests can be directed from one computing node to an available computing node based on information encoded by both the computing node identifiers of the requesting node and the receiving node. Using these computing node identifiers to direct request traffic among VMs can more efficiently leverages network resources.
